36F. Pre-cleared train journey
Feedback & supportLast amended by an amending law of 2026.
The Controller may, subject to the general or special directions of the Minister, declare —
Controller
“Controller” means the Controller of Immigration appointed under section 3;
a specified train journey on a cross-border train on a specified day or specified period to be a pre-cleared train journey for the purposes of this Act; or
a specified class of train journeys on a cross-border train conducted by a specified person to be pre-cleared train journeys for the purposes of this Act.
A particular train journey to which a declaration under subsection (1)(a) or (b) applies is not a pre-cleared train journey if the Controller decides, before any of the passengers or crew on that journey disembark in Singapore, that it is inappropriate to treat the train journey as such and cancels the declaration insofar as it applies to that particular train journey.
crew
“crew” includes every seaman on a vessel, and every person employed in the operation of an aircraft or a train or in any service rendered to the crew or passengers of an aircraft in flight or a train in motion;
